Seems ironic, doesn't it? But every water aerobics instructor I've ever seen was fat. We have THREE of them at my gym's pool, all fat. The regular aerobics instructors are twigs.

Sure, it would be harder to do aerobics in the water if they were doing the same exercise as real aerobics. But they aren't. They're just bobbing around like buoys.

Besides that, the water "aerobics" participants whine that the 82 degree water is too cold. For the swimmers in the pool (the people doing real exercise), that temperature is too warm, bordering on dangerous. If the "aerobics" buoys think that water is too cold, there's no possible way they're doing any exercise.

Hey Boo ... you're starting to piss me off.

That's why you see so many blue hairs doing it. That's also why there are so many funeral parlors near swimming pools.

I'll give the q-tips a pass. Water "aerobics" is a good activity for very old people who need some kind of organized movement to maintain mobility. In that sense it's like physical therapy.

The herd that has wandered into my pool are not old. They think they're actually exercising. You should see them when they get their floatie barbells. They have these foam barbells that they push under the water while pretending that they're weightlifting. It's the equivalent of lifting a can of turnips.
